This system is composed of the VSA modulator-control unit, the wheel speed sensors, the steering angle sensor, the
yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor, and the system indicators in the gauge control module (tach). The VSA
modulator-control unit controls the ABS, EBD, TCS, VSA, and brake assist with the brake pressure of each wheel and
reduces engine torque.

Wheel Speed
Without ABS, when the brake pedal is pressed while driving, the wheels sometimes lock before the vehicle comes to a
stop. In such an event, the maneuverability of the vehicle is reduced if the front wheels are locked, and the stability of
the vehicle is reduced if the rear wheels are locked, creating an extremely unstable condition. With ABS, the system
precisely controls the slip rate of the wheels to ensure maximum grip force from the tires, and it thereby ensures
maneuverability and stability of the vehicle. The ABS calculates the slip rate of the wheels based on the four wheel
speeds, and then it controls the brake fluid pressure to reach the target slip rate.
The control unit detects the wheel speed based on the wheel speed sensor signals it receives, then it calculates the
vehicle speed based on the detected wheel speed. The control unit detects the vehicle speed during deceleration
based on the wheel speeds.
The control unit calculates the slip rate of each wheel, and transmits the control signal to the modulator unit solenoid
valve when the slip rate is high.
The hydraulic control has three modes: Pressure intensifying, pressure reducing, and pressure retaining.

The electronic brake distribution (EBD) feature helps control vehicle braking by adjusting the rear brake force in
accordance with the rear wheel load before the ABS operates. Based on the wheel speed sensor signals, the control
unit uses the modulator to control the rear brakes individually. When the rear wheel speed is less than the front wheel
speed, the VSA modulator-control unit retains the current rear brake fluid pressure by closing the inlet valve in the
modulator. As the rear wheel speed increases, and approaches the front wheel speed, the VSA modulator-control unit
increases the rear brake fluid pressure by momentarily opening the inlet valve. This whole process is repeated very
rapidly. While this is happening, kickback may be felt at the brake pedal.
When a drive wheel loses traction on a slippery road surface and starts to spin, the VSA modulator-control unit applies
brake pressure to the spinning wheel, and sends an engine torque control request to the ECM/PCM to slow the
spinning wheel and keep traction.

The modulator unit consists of the inlet solenoid valve, the outlet solenoid valve, the VSA NO (normally open)
solenoid valve, the VSA NC (normally closed) solenoid valve, the reservoir, the pump, the pump motor, and the
damping chamber.
The hydraulic control has three modes at ABS action; pressure intensifying, pressure retaining, and pressure reducing.
Pressure adding mode is combined the TCS, VSA, and brake assist action.
The hydraulic circuit is an independent four channel type; one channel for each wheel.
open closed open closed Master cylinder fluid is pumped out to
the caliper.

open closed closed open Caliper fluid flows through the outlet valve to the reservoir.
The motor pumps the reservoir fluid
through the damping chamber to
the master cylinder .
closed open open closed Master cylinder fluid is pumped out by pump with motor through VSA
NC valve to the caliper.
Caliper fluid pressure exceeds
master cylinder pressure.
: The motor will keep running until the operation of the one anti-lock brake control is finished with the first pressure reducing mode.
